He will sign. He's going to play professional baseball.

Cal State Fullerton will be a good test for us. After this series, we'll have a much better idea of where we need to improve.

It?s easy to come out and play a baseball game when you?re picking up 18 to 20 wins a season. But you see what kids are made of when you go out when things don?t go your way.

We have no bats and no arms that will overpower teams, so we need to play smart baseball and not make any mistakes on defense.

Normally, we're not caught that short. Normally, we don't lose both our Friday and Saturday starter the same year.

I can't remember the last time that we didn't have an All-Conference player returning. We've also lost the middle of our lineup. But the good news is that our defense will be solid. We have some returning seniors to provide leadership and we have good freshman players who will push the regulars for playing time.
